Air suspension remote control
Just read an article of a test drive and the writer found a trick:
“Also found a party trick for the air suspension. You can operate it from the outside using the key! Say you want to raise the height of the car for easier loading or just want to show off that your car has air suspension. With the hazard lights switched on, using the key fob, lock the car and unlock it. Now, if you want to raise the car, press and hold the headlight and unlock button on the key and the car will rise! If you want to lower it, you have to press the headlight and lock button. Pretty neat!”

Anybody has tried this? Mine doesn’t work…

This isn't exactly new, it's been available on a few cars like the Disco 4 and possibly even Disco 3 Thumbs Up Cheers Ian

its a shame the ditched turning the reverse lights on...you can turn the front but in the old days you could turn the rear ones on...very useful Mike

Yep - it works for me.

I've used it a couple of times when picking up (yet another) ebay purchase - Park the car up with hazards on, go collect whatever bulky furniture the Mrs has procured, lower the rear as we approach using the key.

I heard it's also really useful when towing.
